5.3.2 Checking the Country Standard
The switch position 0 / 0 indicates the delivered state. If you have ordered the inverter with specific
country settings, these will have already been preset in the factory via a communication device. In this
case, you will not be able to recognize the setting by the switch position. These settings will be
overwritten by changes to the rotary switch or via a communication device and can not simply be re-
constructed. For devices ordered without any specified country of installation, the standard setting is
"VDE0126-1-1" and the language is "german".
Changes will be immediately accepted after switching the line circuit breaker on. If an unprogrammed
switch setting is selected, the inverter issues an error message.
Check whether the inverter is set to the installation country.
Before commissioning:
• Check that the country setting of the inverter is correct using the supplement provided and
comparing this to the the factory settings of the inverter.
After commissioning:
• Check that the country standard is correct on the basis of the display message during
(re‑)commissioning (see section 7.2”Display during Initialization” (page53)).
or
• Check that the country standard is correct on the basis of the "SMAgrid guard" measuring
channel via a communication device.
The operating parameters define which setting is hidden behind which parameter set. The parameters
can be read out using a communication device. A detailed description of the parameters and
measurement values for the inverter is available in the download area at www.SMA.de/en in the
category "Technical Description" of the respective inverter.
Display language
Once you have set the country standard, you can always set the display language later
using rotary switch B. However, you have to then set the rotary switch A to "0" in order to
keep the country data set.
